Your answer seems a bit laconic.
From my perspective, you are making the discussion more difficult than
it needs to be and I'm not sure why. My guess would be that part of
the Bahai position (which I've heard from some Bahais) is the
assertion that there is no kind of natural law, no kind of underlying
"natural morality". The only commandments are the orders of the
Manifestation. So it makes "sense" that you would resist what I'm
saying.
By the way, does
Shari'a disallow slavery? If so, why?
I would say that the Quran, and the sunnah, and the example of the
early companions strongly emphasizes freeing slaves. And it is
consistent with Islamic principles to have a society where slavery
doesn't exist.
